The Zuytdorp was built in Middelburg for the VOC chamber of Zeeland (Dutch East India Company) in 1701. In 1711 she was on a voyage to Batavia (Indonesia) with a load of freshly minted coins (2-stuivers and 6-stuivers, dated 1711), but never arrived at its destination. The wreck was discovered in 1927 on the Western Australian coast, between Kalbarri and Shark Bay.It is generally believed that all 6-stuivers from Zeeland, issued in 1711 were lost in the VOC shipwreck 'the Zuytdorp'.
